It removes any doubt that the post is the real deal and not a poser.

I'd take just Clausen over our three stiffs.

The Vikings radio guys agree. Link

28 td's, 4 int's against division I teams speaks for itself. Yeah, Michigan, USC, Michigan State, Boston College aren't exactly up to par with the MAC teams, but maybe some day they will.

Found video of TBarrett and his friend's first day of college link

Two of those source are buried on the depth chart(Perry, Charbonnet) and logically would have sour grapes with the head coach. As far as the "medical treatment" statements, it wasn't medical treatment. The coach's decision was disciplinary in nature for a player with a "minor concussion" (he got his bell rung) who was, based on the statements of more credible sources, a distraction to the team and a threat to the authority of the coaching staff.

Could be true as I've heard that Brandon is a humble guy who has the best interest of the team at heart. He may be an asset in hiring a new gm as he can handle the marketing as well as provide a buffer between Ralph and the new gm.

People so quickly forget the criticism(deserved) he received during the Super Bowl run. Although he is noted for his pre-game speeches, it was no secret that he had no influence on the emotion of the team which led to their uninspiring performances in the Super Bowls 2,3,4 and his atrocious clock management that cost them Super Bowl 1.

I don't know, but this is a reall buzz kill. I've been in a euphoric high all week. I broke out my zebra pants and Shout! cd. My neighbors even joined me in the "Hey everybody. Bills are going to the Super Bowl!!!" chant.

True. I'm trying to temper any enthusiasm, otherwise I'll be as we all have been over the past decade.

While I'm happy the Bills addressed the o-line early in the draft and share your optimism for the future, I have the feeling that they will struggle until the middle to second half of season. Then, towards the end of this year the we'll be saying, "Well, next year they'll have a year of experience together..."

I prefer one who prays to God than the ones who pray at the alter of Marx and Lenin as we have now.

Don't move to France. Move to D.C. which has the strictest gun laws in the country. Now that's a safe place.

I cringed when they dumped Smerlas in favor of the smallish Jeff Wright. No doubt that with the '88 d-line of Bruce, Smerlas and Art Still, they would have beaten the Giants and competed in the next three. Regardless of their regular season record against the NFC, the Super Bowl is a different game. Bottom line was that the front office was content in being the best AFC team and never made the adjustments defensively to better match up against the more physical NFC offenses.

Jason Peters is a dolt and I have a feeling we won't miss him. He only believed that he was responsible for the defensive end in front of him and nothing else That isn't necessarily a bad thing as usually he would be lined up against the best. However, he didnt' have the intelligence to understand that the o-line is a unit that must know each others responsibilities on each play. This was clear in the performance of the entire line and by Peter's comments after the games in which he would clear himself of any responsibility of the poor perfomance. White or black, the o-line isn't a good posiion to have a diva and I'm encouraged to see the Bills stock up on talented smart guys who are nasty, will work hard and be happy to do their job in relative anonymity.

That's okay, SKOOBY has proven that there is no correlation between car ownership and football knowledge. Keep the info flowing.

This is very telling. Oher has a learning disability and still managed to do double Peters score on a standardized test. It further explains how Peters allowed himself to become a tool of a slick agent wanting a big payday. Oher's scouting report says he has a difficult time with complex blocking schemes. How is that different from Peters? According to Peters he was only responsible for one defensive player per play. If you ask him, he thoroughly dominated that player all game with the exeption of a couple (game changing) plays.

The thing that bothered me the most about him this past season were his excuses after the games, "Well, I thoroughly dominated, except for that one (game changing) play." He would never man up.

I doubt it. Kelly had a big ego and a ROOKIE head coach coming in and telling him he was expendable(especially for a one-year wonder) would not have been handled well. Skoob, unsurprisingly you miss the point. It's about ego and self-perception Cutler sees himself as a leader and doesn't see himself as trade fodder especially coming off a pro bowl season. BTW, Kelly's first two seasons weren't very successful. Without looking, I'll bet Cutler's stats compare favorably to Kelly's did at a similar stage in his career.

In fairness to Cutler, how do you think a 25-year old Jim Kelly would have responded under similar circumstances. If a new coach had come in and tried to trade him, Kelly would have wanted the hell out of Buffalo.

Another possibility is that the Lions front office sent out this story to explain away how they allowed such an (sarcasm on) outstanding interior lineman that would certainly shore up their o-line get away. "We did our best, but the Bills front office dropped the ball!!"

Both teams were full of flaws, i.e. Steelers o-line, Cards' young db's. I couldn't help but think how the Bills coaches would have f'd up either of those last two drives with their time management and play calls.

How about Ralph's fat daughter? I hear she's a candidate. But, who's gonna scout offensive lineman????!!!!!!

Ralph is just tickled to death to own a team that's turning a profit with all the attention he gets from it in his elder years. Winning or losing is not important until it begins to affect his bottom line.

That's will be one hellacious sneeze if they have to travel east to New York. The Eagles at home they have a shot.
